9 Ovalbumin(OVA) sensitization protocol for acute and established airway inflammation. A, Acute sensitization model: mice were sensitized with 20 μg OVA in alum i.p. on days 0 and 14. Airway challenge with 1% OVA was performed on days 21 to 24, concurrent with transfer of Breg cells. Lung analysis was performed on day 25. B, Established model: mice were sensitized with 20 μg OVA in alum i.p. on days 0 and 12. Mice received airway challenge with 5% OVA on days 16 to 19 and days 25 to 28. On days 36 to 39, mice received Breg cells and 5% OVA aerosol. On day 44, mice received 5 % OVA aerosol challenge. Lung analysis was performed on day 45.
